Add a new selftest to verify netconsole's handling of messages that
exceed the packet size limit and require fragmentation. The test sends
messages with varying sizes and userdata, validating that:
1. Large messages are correctly fragmented and reassembled
2. Userdata fields are properly preserved across fragments
3. Messages work correctly with and without kernel release version
appending
The test creates a networking environment using netdevsim, sends
messages through /dev/kmsg, and verifies the received fragments maintain
message integrity.

The script uses non-POSIX features like `[[` for conditionals and hence
does not work when run with a POSIX /bin/sh.
Change the shebang to /bin/bash instead, like the other tests in cgroup.

Greetings:
Welcome to v3. No functional changes, see changelog below.
This is an attempt to followup on something Jakub asked me about [1],
adding an xsk attribute to queues and more clearly documenting which
queues are linked to NAPIs...
After the RFC [2], Jakub suggested creating an empty nest for queues
which have a pool, so I've adjusted this version to work that way.
The nest can be extended in the future to express attributes about XSK
as needed. Queues which are not used for AF_XDP do not have the xsk
attribute present.
I've run the included test on:
- my mlx5 machine (via NETIF=)
- without setting NETIF
And the test seems to pass in both cases.
Thanks,
Joe

changes.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250203185828.19334-1-jdamato@fastly.com/
- Switched from RFC to actual submission now that net-next is open
- Adjusted patch 1 to include an empty nest as suggested by Jakub
- Adjusted patch 2 to update the test based on changes to patch 1, and
to incorporate some Python feedback from Jakub :)

2.47.1
This series expands the XDP TX metadata framework to allow user
applications to pass per packet 64-bit launch time directly to the kernel
driver, requesting launch time hardware offload support. The XDP TX
metadata framework will not perform any clock conversion or packet
reordering.
Please note that the role of Tx metadata is just to pass the launch time,
not to enable the offload feature. Users will need to enable the launch
time hardware offload feature of the device by using the respective
command, such as the tc-etf command.
Although some devices use the tc-etf command to enable their launch time
hardware offload feature, xsk packets will not go through the etf qdisc.
Therefore, in my opinion, the launch time should always be based on the PTP
Hardware Clock (PHC). Thus, i did not include a clock ID to indicate the
clock source.
To simplify the test steps, I modified the xdp_hw_metadata bpf self-test
tool in such a way that it will set the launch time based on the offset
provided by the user and the value of the Receive Hardware Timestamp, which
is against the PHC. This will eliminate the need to discipline System Clock
with the PHC and then use clock_gettime() to get the time.
Please note that AF_XDP lacks a feedback mechanism to inform the
application if the requested launch time is invalid. So, users are expected
to familiar with the horizon of the launch time of the device they use and
not request a launch time that is beyond the horizon. Otherwise, the driver
might interpret the launch time incorrectly and react wrongly. For stmmac
and igc, where modulo computation is used, a launch time larger than the
horizon will cause the device to transmit the packet earlier that the
requested launch time.
Although there is no feedback mechanism for the launch time request
for now, user still can check whether the requested launch time is
working or not, by requesting the Transmit Completion Hardware Timestamp.

commit (Faizal)

- add launch time setup steps into xdp_hw_metadata app (Stanislav)

[ Upstream commit 46036188ea1f5266df23a6149dea0df1c77cd1c7 ]
The mm kselftests are currently built with no optimisation (-O0). It's
unclear why, and besides being obviously suboptimal, this also prevents
the pkeys tests from working as intended. Let's build all the tests with
-O2.
